it's not weird "the union leader" in new hampshire isn't endorsing mitt romney right now. what's weird is their criticism is they don't like mitt romney because he's mr. 1% and so they're supporting newt gingrich instead. that's amazing in part because newt gingrich is also a multimillionaire and in part because of the hilariously unsavory ways in which newt gingrich has made some of his money. i was a historian for freddie mac, but anybody else who took money off freddie mac should go to prison. mostly this is an amazing turn of events in the campaign because the whole translation of the 99%ers' idea into electoral politics is supposed to be that if you're running for office right now, you ought to have something to offer people who are not being served in this economy. people who are not making it because of the way our economy is structured. the way our political system is structured. even the frank luntz talking points for republican governors this week reported by yahoo! news, these were talking points for how republicans ought to talk about occupy wall street and the
